An Imperfect Journey

A poem

By Karan w. Published about a year ago β€’ 1 min read

A cold sea of ​​tears in the eyes,
There is a cold ash of kindness in the heart that never dies.

I had settled the dream of this beautiful world in my eyes,
never letting the dark shadow of deceit rise.

A life of fleeting moments, Where tears never appear,
A silent Pain within, that no one can hear.

This crying without tears is a strange kind of pain,
That lasts for centuries, with no end, no gain.

These relationships, friendships, and brotherhood, are left unfulfilled,
Where my character failed, my heart stood chilled.

Those gems now lost, to the infinite dark Abyss,
Which will never return, a moment I'll forever miss.

Never to return; without them, life is a curse,
A pain that grows deeper as I continue to immerse.

Those happy moments are now floating in the memories with endless pain,
Their joy was now lost, never to return again.

I will carry this imperfection till I lie in the grave,
lost memories, incomplete desires, and dreams left in the cave.

Now the words are lost, and the pages are still,
A silence so deep, no voice can fulfill.

    Sk, the depth of your observations has not been lost in the re-tellling. You are able to put emotions into words in a beautiful delicate way. Very lovely. I have experienced a lot of these emotions in my own life and you have captured how they " look" beautifully β€οΈπŸ˜ŠπŸ’«

    Glad this is not related to your life, but the depth? Oh boy! it actually seemed you experienced. It is really hard to depict something deep without experiencing yet you did a splendid job!! Keep up the good work buddy.

    Your postscript made me laugh. The poem was great & you don't seem immature to me (but, of course, I only know you over the Internet. πŸ˜‚) βš‘πŸ’™βš‘

    I'm glad it's not about your real life! It's wonderful, but so sad.

    This poem is hauntingly beautiful each line drips with sorrow and unfulfilled longing. The imagery of lost dreams and silent pain is so powerful, it lingers long after reading. A masterpiece of emotion and depth. πŸ’”βœ¨

    What a beautiful poem! You say you are immature for these pains, but evidently you are good at observing and understanding people's feelings

    This is such a deep convey of emotion. Love it πŸ₯°.

    My favourite line is the link between cold ash and cold sea in the eyes. Such a pretty way of phrasing. This sounds like an adventure, a journey through the feels. A story and a character developing through your imagination of how it must be to feel so… hopeless, lost and numb. I liked how it slowed down but never loses its rhythm, another masterpiece for sure Sk. πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘ŒπŸ½πŸ€—β™₯️

    One poem that teaches a lot of lessons that we all need to remember somehow. Good job.

    A silence so deep; no voice can fulfill? πŸ™Œ Really? This entire poem says, "Pain ... Pain... " You nailed it! What hurt you so bad; for you to write this? (I didn't read the A/N) This was totally written with blood! I swear; I love it ❀🀝

    This poem hits deepβ€”such a beautiful way to capture the feeling of loss and longing. The emotions are so raw, yet relatable. Love how it flows and makes you think about memories that never really fade. I have read your chapters too they are phenomenal. it would be so kind of you if you go and read my chapter and give me some feedback. Feel free to point out areas of improvement.

  • This was so poignant and relatable. I'm glad that it's not based on your experience. Loved your poem+
